In April 2010, Campbellsburg made a mistake. A big one. One that’s already cost them more money in legal fees than they spent from January 2008 to December 2009, and cost them dearly in terms of reputation.

Mayors running for city council and city council members running for mayor. Sounds like a revolving door of the same ideas and the same intrusive rules and regulations. I see no change at all. As I said before the last election we need new people with new ideas.

Beginning Oct. 12, the Henry County Local will host the first of three local election forums.

The first forum will be held at Henry County High School at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 12, in the auditorium.

Residents are encouraged to submit questions for the candidates to Henry County Local editor Jonna Spelbring Priester by Oct. 8. Questions can be mailed to 18 S. Penn Ave., Eminence, Ky., 40019, or e-mailed to editor@hclocal.com. Or, you can call in or fax your questions to 845-2858 or 845-2921.

It’s been a wonderful summer here in Eminence. The activities - Music on Main, DJ in the Park, movie night and even cruising - have been a perfect time to get out of the house and socialize for all ages.

We are fortunate to have a city council that isn’t satisfied with just being a city, but wants to build community among the residents. The planning and execution of these activities deserves our gratitude and support.

New Eminence Independent Schools superintendent Buddy Berry is not afraid to get his hands dirty.

At the September school board meeting Berry said he is making a clean-up of the schools a top priority. “It got to the point where we questioned whether it even could be cleaned or is it just an old building,” he said.

Berry called in a professional cleaning company to evaluate the situation and was told the building could be put to rights.

When it comes to the automotive industry, few states can match Kentucky’s record.

Our association with Henry Ford, for example, stretches back almost a century, when in 1912 he opened a sales and service office in Louisville. A few years later, that city was producing 7,000 vehicles, and a few years after that it became home to the country’s first modern assembly plant. Now, Louisville’s two production facilities – one that began in 1955 and the other in 1969 – are regularly among the company’s leaders.
